amylizK, they have been around because they are classic just like the espadrilles and lucite. Spectators are 2 toned - color w/ white.

"Ugh, this is a fad that is not going to last. Next year, these will be so passe'" 1. Do you know long Oxfords have been around? Probably a lot longer than whatever pair of espadrilles or lucite wedges we were sporting over the summer. 2. QUESTION: What is the difference (and I should just go look it up) what is the difference between Oxfords and Spectators?? I've seen them used almost interchangeably and I don't really know the difference. P.S. I love that they've put these up on heels, that might be the trend aspect, but it's phenomenal!
